Parabolic trough power plants use concentrated sunlight, in place of fossil fuels, to provide the thermal energy required to drive a conventional power plant.
China''s largest trough solar thermal power plant, located in the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, generated 330 million kilowatt-hours of electricity in the 12-month period ending on March 31 this year. Designed
Solar energy has become increasingly distinguished among the renewable resources and solar parabolic trough solar thermal power plants have proved the most mature solar thermal technology by far.
In solar thermal energy, all concentrating solar power (CSP) technologies use solar thermal energy from sunlight to make power. A solar field of mirrors concentrates the sun''s energy onto a receiver that traps the heat and stores it in thermal energy storage till needed to create steam to drive a turbine to produce electrical power.
